چکیده

To clarify the role of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in the catabolism of nascent and circulating very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and in the conversion of VLDL to low density lipoproteins (LDL), studies were performed in which LPL activity was inhibited in the cynomolgus monkey by intravenous infusion of inhibitory polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies. Inhibition of LPL activity resulted in a three- to fivefold increase in plasma triglyceride levels within 3 h. Analytical ultracentrifugation and gradient gel electrophoresis demonstrated an increase predominantly in more buoyant, larger VLDL (Sf 400-60). LDL and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels fell during this same time period, whereas triglyceride in LDL and HDL increased. Kinetic studies, utilizing radiolabeled human VLDL, demonstrated that LPL inhibition resulted in a marked decrease in the catabolism of large (Sf 400-100) VLDL apolipoprotein B (apoB). The catabolism of more dense VLDL (Sf 60-20) was also inhibited, although to a lesser extent. However, there was a complete block in the conversion of tracer in both Sf 400-100 and 60-20 VLDL apoB into LDL during LPL inhibition. Similarly, endogenous labeling of VLDL using [3H]leucine demonstrated that in the absence of LPL, no radiolabeled apoB appeared in LDL. We conclude that although catabolism of dense VLDL continues in the absence of LPL, this enzyme is required for the generation of LDL.

Lipoprotein metabolism during acute inhibition of hepatic triglyceride lipase in the cynomolgus monkey.

The role of the enzyme hepatic triglyceride lipase was investigated in a primate model, the cynomolgus monkey. Antisera produced against human postheparin hepatic lipase fully inhibited cynomolgus monkey posttheparin plasma hepatic triglyceride lipase activity. Lipoprotein lipase activity was not inhibited by this antisera. Hepatic triglyceride lipase activity in liver biopsies was decreased by...

Role of lipoprotein lipase in the regulation of high density lipoprotein apolipoprotein metabolism. Studies in normal and lipoprotein lipase-inhibited monkeys.

Mechanisms that might be responsible for the low levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) associated with hypertriglyceridemia were studied in an animal model. Specific monoclonal antibodies were infused into female cynomolgus monkeys to inhibit lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the rate-limiting enzyme for triglyceride catabolism. LPL inhibition produced marked and sustained hypertriglyceridemia, with...

A case report of 5 y/o girl with familial chylomicronemia

Background: Familial chylomicronemia syndrome is a rare disorder of lipoprotein metabolism due to familial lipoprotein lipase or apolipoprotein C-II deficiency or the presence of inhibitors to lipoprotein lipase. It manifests as eruptive xanthomas, acute pancreatitis, and lipaemic plasma due to marked elevation of triglyceride and chylomicrons levels. Case presentation: We report a rare case of...

Association between Lipoprotein Lipase Hind III Polymorphism and Serum Levels of Lipids in Semnan City

Background & Aims: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is one of the key enzymes regulating the metabolism of triglycerides (TG) and HDL cholesterol. The lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene polymorphisms are possibly involved in the pathophysiology of dyslipidemia. Hind III polymorphism is one of the most common polymorphisms in LPL gene. In some studies, association of Hind III polymorphism with dyslipidemia h...
